SignMeUp is an interactive ASL (American Sign Language) learning game designed to make fingerspelling and sign recognition fun and accessible for beginners.

I recently took a brief course in American Sign Language (ASL) . Afterwards, I was motivated to create a game to help myself and other newbies learn and reinforce ASL concepts so I created SignMeUp.

Thanks for taking it for a spin.

Thanks for the comment. I also have a puzzle editor so that I can create and test new puzzles.

Baby Beamers

Object of the game: Bend light. Hit targets.

Baby Beamers is a laser puzzle game. Route laser beams across a grid using mirrors, prisms, and beam splitters. Drag pieces into position, rotate them to redirect the beam, and hit the targets. No timers. No lives. No pressure.  7 baby beamer puzzles are provided. Solve each puzzle to get to the next one. Each puzzle is more complex with more beam pending elements.

What was I thinking? I really needed a short and snappy name.

Letters fall onto the board in stacks (ala Tetris). Move them left or right and rotate them as they fall. You can also scramble the letters in the tiles to move them in a more useful position.

Create valid words (3 letters or more) horizontally or vertically across the board to score points. Each letter has a value based on their value in Scrabble (shown on the letter tiles).  The valid words are taken from the Scrabble dictionary. Valid words are highlighted in gold briefly and then removed from the screen as the columns collapse ala Tetris. These words are also shown in the gold box on the right side of the screen. 

The game runs against the clock (currently 4 minutes), so think fast! When time runs out, the game ends. Use the restart button to return to the intro screen to start a new game.

Sample screen shot below.

added animation when you hover over a level button. No biggy but kind of cool.

I added the time it takes to solve the puzzle in seconds.

Welcome to Mind Levels!  A memory tile game where the objective is to find pairs of tiles with as few moves as possible. Choose the level your want to challenge you mind. 

This is a memory game that I built during the Udemy course entitled "jumpstart-to-2d-game-development-godot-4-for-beginners". This is the memory madness game from that course. I want to give credit where credit is due as they say.

I made a few small changes to the name and background. I may add some additional changes as time goes on.

Here's a link and a quick screen capture.

Mind Levels

Step up to the plate in Target Baseball, a fast-paced arcade baseball challenge! Time your swing to hit falling baseballs toward moving targets worth 100, 200, and 500 points. Each hit scores big — but a missed swing or a ball through the strike zone counts as a strike. Three strikes and the game is over. Rack up points, chase your high score, and master tricky pitches as spin grows stronger with every baseball.

Now rewritten using the godot engine. The objective is to move Luke back and forth so he catches bones and cans which add to the score and to avoid dog catchers and hawks which subtract from the score. If you get 15 points within 30 seconds, you move to the next level.  If you don’t get 15 points in 30 seconds, you replay the existing level. You can continue to play to see how many levels you can reach. There is currently no specific end.

New Luke Gets the Bone

New features include:

• Rewritten using the Godot engine.
• Peppy background rock music track.
• Luke is now animated as he moves back and forth.
• New enemy (Hawks) need to be avoided in addition to the dog catchers.
• The game automatically moves to the next level if you get 15 points within the 30 second timer.
• If not, the game stays at the same level and you can retry that level.

thanks.

Now Luke jumps from platform to platform defeating enemies and collecting coins. Make it through all 3 levels as more enemies arrive.

Lots of enhancements. Let me know what you think.

a bunch of enhancements. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Added a time limit and a score objective within that limit. More to come.

great comment. I got some enhancements in mind.
